Hi ,

I am trying to connecting Splunk DB Connect App with Azure Synapse SQL Pool (SQL DW) using JDBC connection string with Azure Active Directory Authentication then its throwing error related to loading ADAL4J library failed to load. Same connectivity working fine with SQL Authentication.

 

JDBC Connectivity string

jdbc:sqlserver://sqlserversplunktest.database.windows.net:1433;database=spsplunktest;user=xxxx;password=xxxxx;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30;authentication=ActiveDirectoryPassword 

I am getting error message - "Failed to load ADAL4J Java library for performing ActiveDirectory authentication"

 

Can someone please assist in this case.

 

Regards

IY
